To ensure Venom had the best possible chance to bond with him, Peter actually dispelled his Kamen Rider armor. Simultaneously, he discreetly activated the "Little Watch" on his left wrist.
[Scanning... DNA Sample Analysis in Progress...]
The moment Venom touched Peter's skin, it flowed over him like black liquid, seeping into his pores. Initially, Venom was ecstatic!
Power! Unprecedented power!
This host's life energy was the strongest it had ever encountered—tens of times more potent than the Kree soldier it had bonded with before. Venom was already fantasizing about ruling this planet alongside this magnificent specimen.
However, as the bonding process deepened, the symbiote realized something was terribly wrong.
Energy!
An indescribable energy field was repelling the fusion. It felt like an invisible fortress wall, keeping the symbiote at arm's length.
Venom tried to force its way in, but a sense of "phantom pain" began to wash over its consciousness.
It was as if a voice was booming inside Peter's body, issuing a stern warning:
Venom, you're just a bit player! You're neither man nor ghost—you think you can hitch a ride on my master? Get out of here before I rip that cowl off and show you what "bad juice" tastes like!
Under this "solemn warning," Venom was forced to detach.
Fine! If you don't want me, I'll find someone else!
Realizing it couldn't conquer this body, the symbiote prepared to slink away. But then, a mechanical chime echoed in Peter's mind:
[DNA Sample Collected: Symbiote - Klyntar]
"Got it!"
Peter looked satisfied at the new black slime icon on the Omnitrix. He spun the dial and slammed it down to 25% mimicry.
The next second, a black-and-red fluid—distinct from Venom but of the same origin—erupted from Peter's own cells, covering his right arm. In the blink of an eye, his hand transformed into a massive claw, then shifted into a razor-sharp blade.
It wasn't a covering; his body became the symbiote.
"Interesting~"
Peter grinned and cranked the dial to 75%.
Instantly, a black-and-red symbiote suit covered his entire body. He felt like a humanoid symbiote. Just like his Electro form, he could now open "holes" in his body to dodge projectiles.
He felt his base strength and speed surge to levels comparable to his Lightning Release Armor.
So... naturally...
Zzzzt—!
Peter activated his Lightning Release Armor on top of the transformation!
The Venom symbiote, still nearby, began to convulse violently from the high-frequency vibrations. Its attempt to flee was paralyzed. Meanwhile, Peter didn't feel a thing. In fact, he looked like he was enjoying it.
He threw a test punch at the ground.
BOOM!
His fist tore through the rocket's reinforced steel plating and left a massive crater in the earth. This strength... was easily on the level of a calm Hulk! More importantly, his mind remained perfectly clear. Absolute rationality.
"Perfect. This is much better than a loser like you."
Peter deactivated the lightning and looked down at the shivering pile of black goo in his hand. He gave a critique that would have broken Venom's heart if it had one.
"I am... NOT a loser!"
Thanks to the Omnitrix's built-in translation, Peter could understand the creature. Venom was confused as to why a "superior" version of its own kind had suddenly appeared, but it was deeply offended by the insult.
Now that the lightning was gone, Venom lunged at Peter's hand, trying to bite him to teach him a lesson. But its teeth felt like they were hitting needles. Peter's "Internal Symbiote" was simply higher-tier.
Run! I have to get out of here!
Venom tried to slide away, but Peter's arm crackled with electricity again. The high-frequency buzz turned Venom into a limp noodle.
Peter's expression turned complex. Symbiotes weren't inherently evil; they reflected their hosts. He didn't hate Venom, but now that he could be a symbiote and reproduce asexually, the original Venom was technically redundant.
Leaving it loose meant it could be used by his enemies. Even if it found Eddie Brock, the fusion would eventually lead to the "Codex," which brought nothing but cosmic trouble to Earth.
Peter reached a decision and unhinged his symbiote-mimicked jaw.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" Venom "screamed" in terror.
Peter ignored it. He swallowed the symbiote whole, erasing its consciousness and assimilating its biomass into his own.
Pui~
After the assimilation, Peter spat out a tiny, marble-sized fragment of the symbiote. If it found a host, it could theoretically grow into a new Venom. If not, it would die in minutes.
As the fragment's life signs faded, the System finally chimed:
[Detected Purple Rare Item: Venom Fragment]
[A shard of the iconic anti-hero. Can be used to cultivate a loyal symbiote offspring. High commemorative and combat value.]
[Sacrifice Value: 6,000 Points][Would you like to Sacrifice?]
"Sacrifice!"
With a thought, the last of Venom's "ripple" was traded in. The cold slime transformed into the warmth of 6,000 Sacrifice Points.
