Chapter 128 - Confronting Venom

Hiss—

The door slid open.

Peter staggered out, one hand on the wall for support, his face pale.

"Nothing?" Stark frowned deeply.

Peter looked just as confused.

The Venom symbiote definitely existed on him—that was an undeniable fact.

Betty had seen it.The Department of Damage Control's surveillance footage had recorded it.And Peter himself had clearly acted under its influence, doing things that were completely irrational.

Just moments ago, he had nearly killed a DODC officer.

The thought alone made Peter break out in a cold sweat.

If he had actually killed that law-enforcement officer…He would be facing legal punishment—expelled from the Avengers, maybe even hunted down.

Everyone he knew, everything familiar, would be dragged down with him.

"Maybe it's no longer on you," Stark said casually.

Peter shook his head slightly."No… it doesn't feel that simple. I feel like it's still near me—just somewhere I'm not noticing."

Wait.

A spark of realization flashed through Peter's mind.

He replayed everything that had happened since he returned—every moment, every detail.

Suddenly, his gaze snapped to the nano-watch placed on the table.

"I get it!"

Peter rushed over, grabbed the nano-watch, and held it up.

Stark looked even more confused.

"Open the door for me," Peter said.

Stark tapped the control panel.The sonic chamber door opened again.

Peter extended his hand—and tossed the nano-watch inside.

But the moment it left his fingers, nano-particles exploded out of the watch like a living storm, surging up Peter's arm and covering his entire body.

The nano-suit attached itself automatically—without Peter activating it.

No—more accurately, it was now the Venom Suit.

"Aaah—!"Peter clutched his head as a sharp, stabbing pain tore through his mind.

The Venom symbiote was fighting him—trying to seize full control of his body.

And Peter immediately realized something terrifying:

Its control over him was far stronger than he had imagined.

All because his consciousness had been absent for too long, leaving his body practically ownerless.

The symbiote had taken the opportunity to devour and fuse with his DNA in massive quantities.

If Peter had returned even a little later…the body might have belonged entirely to Venom by the time he woke up.

"Aaahhh—!"

Wave after wave of searing pain crashed over him, forcing guttural screams from his throat.

From Stark's perspective, Peter looked even more horrifying.

Half of his face was still Peter Parker—but the other half had turned into something inky-black, with razor-sharp fangs and a monstrous grin.

"Peter! Peter!"Stark summoned his suit, armor locking onto his body.He lunged forward, trying to restrain Peter and throw him back into the sonic chamber.

CLANG!

But as Stark approached, Peter's fist snapped forward—

One punch sent Iron Man flying more than twenty meters.

BOOM!

Thrusters flared from hands and feet, and Stark stabilized himself mid-air.

He shot back toward Peter."Friday, install a replacement gauntlet with a sonic weapon—fast as you can."

"Yes, sir."

Half-Venom Peter slammed himself against a wall.The reinforced structure shook violently from the impact.

But these walls were built to withstand missile strikes, reinforced with nearly a centimeter of steel plate.Not something he could break in one hit.

Realizing that route was blocked, Peter turned and went for the opposite side, trying to escape.

BOOM!

As if Stark would let that happen.

All thrusters at full output, Iron Man streaked toward him, ramming forward with brute force.

At the same time, he ordered Friday to seal off several key corridors of the lab building.

THUD!

Iron Man collided with half-Venom Peter again, slamming him into a wall hard enough to make the entire section tremble.

"Wake up, Peter!" Stark roared.

"Sta—"

"ROAR!"

Two different voices spilled out of Peter's mouth—his own and the symbiote's.

The black substance on his face shifted wildly—sometimes covering the left side, sometimes the right—a clear sign of the internal struggle for control.

Another punch.Iron Man was sent flying again.

Stark realized the kid's strength had skyrocketed.

His gold-titanium alloy armor—normally only scratched by armor-piercing rounds—now had a visible dent where Peter had struck it.

How much force was that?

One hundred tons?

Two hundred?

Stark felt a chill.

This strength…It even surpassed Hulk in his normal state.

(Peter's strength had already doubled after the Blonde Spider-Man universe incident. Venom amplified it even further.)

"Maybe next time aliens invade, I can just say: 'We've got Spider-Man,'"Stark muttered bitterly as he peeled himself out of the wall.

He wasn't joking—just trying to laugh through the fear.

Because he genuinely didn't know whether stepping into this mess was helping Peter…or helping the symbiote consume him.

His only real objective was to throw Peter into the sonic chamber.

But Peter was rampaging.

Inside the narrow laboratory, he bounced around like a wild beast, leaving destruction in his wake.

Walls, glass panels—anything not reinforced was shattered instantly.

The devastation reminded Stark of watching the Hulk tear through a battlefield.

But he wasn't sure Peter was as durable as Hulk.

One wrong move and Peter could be seriously hurt.

He would never forgive himself.

So Stark could only use weak, non-lethal attacks—just enough to distract Peter and buy time.

Meanwhile, he waited for Friday to deliver the sonic-equipped gauntlet.

Even with Stark's resources and a fully stocked workshop, modifying and assembling a weapon like that would take at least five minutes.

All he could do was stall.

On the other side, Peter's inner state was a chaotic mess.

Was it bad?

Not exactly.

His body brimmed with endless power, overflowing from within.His senses were sharper than ever.

The feeling was intoxicating—once tasted, impossible to let go.

But was it good?

Not at all.

Along with the power came waves of rage and bloodlust.

A destructive urge pulsed inside him, gnawing away at who he was.

And worse—the symbiote kept attacking his mind.

It wanted to devour Peter's brain—and even his soul.
