"Oh, my God, what in the world are you?!"
Eddie watched as his two arms were covered by a black, unknown creature, controlling his motorcycle to speed down the street against his will, with a dozen cars and dozens of drones in hot pursuit.
From time to time, he could feel bullets whizzing past him and shells exploding right beside him.
His heart was utterly collapsing.
As the Daily Bugle's top reporter, he gained fame for reporting on Golden Warlord. Later, due to connections from his boss's boss, he was able to enter the Hero Alliance International Company to conduct exclusive interviews with three Superheroes.
Since then, he had been a recognizable figure in the New York journalist circle.
A few days ago, a female Dr. suddenly approached him, claiming that the renowned Life Foundation was secretly abducting homeless people for cruel human experiments, and she hoped he could expose their evil deeds.
For a reporter, how could he miss such a major breaking news story?
So, he excitedly followed the female Dr., sneaking into the Life Foundation headquarters' laboratory, hoping to capture some evidence and then expose it, earning a sensational news story that would shake all of New York.
Originally, everything was going smoothly, but just as it was about to end, he was unexpectedly parasitized by an alien creature in the lab, which resembled black goo.
This led to his infiltration being completely exposed, and he was relentlessly pursued by the Life Foundation.
Even though he had escaped to the city streets, these people wouldn't let him go, boldly continuing their relentless chase.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die!"
At some point, a Life Foundation car had detoured and blocked his path. Inside the car, a bald man with a sneer took out an RPG and aimed it at him.
"Boom!"
The entire motorcycle was directly blown up by the Rocket.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let you die!"
The alien creature's voice echoed in Eddie's mind again. Then, his entire body was enveloped, transforming him into a humanoid monster nearly three meters tall, covered in black muscles and sharp fangs.
At this moment, control of his body was completely taken over by the alien creature.
The alien creature controlled Eddie to leap forcefully, jumping four or five meters high directly before the motorcycle exploded. With a stretch of its arms, it grabbed a street light and swung into an adjacent alley.
The Life Foundation drones and pursuers followed closely behind.
"You adorable little snacks, you'll be perfect for filling my Venom's belly."
Upon entering the alley, Venom stopped fleeing. Instead, it turned around, extended its long tongue and fangs, and roared loudly.
Cars stopped one after another, and the Life Foundation personnel inside got out, pulling out their weapons and firing wildly at Venom.
However, the bullets hitting Venom only caused black splashes, then all fell to the ground, unable to penetrate its defenses.
"Outdated weapons!"
Venom stretched out its two arms, and its black limbs elongated like rubber. It grabbed two people standing at the front, one in each hand, pulling them in front of itself like two little chicks.
"Hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and other organs—they all look good, but I still prefer to eat brains!"
With a bite for each, the heads of the two people in its hands were instantly devoured.
"Oh, damn, this is too delicious."
"Die, monster, da da da da da"
Seeing Venom devour the heads of two comrades, the Life Foundation personnel immediately began to retreat in terror while firing frantically.
Just then, strands of webs suddenly shot out from above the alley, sticking all the Life Foundation personnel and Venom to the wall. It was Spider-Man Peter, who had taken action after reporting to Hawking.
"Hero Alliance Spider-Man, please immediately cease your current actions and make no further offensive moves!"
Flipping and descending from the air, Peter warned loudly.
The first rule of Superheroes is: upon discovering a crime, do not act like the Police by identifying yourself and warning before taking action. Instead, neutralize the threat unnoticed at the first opportunity, then perform the aforementioned actions.
"Rip!"
Venom, stuck to the wall, pulled with all its might, actually tearing Peter's highly adhesive webs and falling down.
"Interesting, your body seems quite good, and your brain should taste better than others!"
"What exactly are you?"
Looking at Venom, who had easily torn his webs, Peter's expression instantly became serious.
During this time at the company, he had indeed seen many strange-looking Mutants coming for interviews, but this was the first time he had encountered someone as strange as Venom, who was practically a monster.
"I am not a thing, I am Venom!"
Venom threw a punch at Peter, who quickly put his arms up to block.
However, Peter, with strength up to several tons, actually lost in pure strength to the Venom in front of him, being directly knocked flying. It was only by relying on his powerful reflexes, shooting webs in mid-air to wrap around the wall, that he barely managed to absorb the force and bounce back.
"Such terrifying strength!"
Peter, landing on the alley wall, looked down at Venom in shock. Besides Hawking, he had never seen anyone with such immense strength.
Seeing that Peter was unharmed, Venom immediately prepared to jump and continue the attack.
But at this moment, Eddie, who was enveloped inside, began to resist:
"Don't hurt him, he's a good person."
"Alright, then let's leave here first!"
Feeling the host's consciousness resisting, Venom didn't force it. It turned to devour two more heads to replenish its strength before leaving.
"Roar!!!!"
But as soon as he turned, a huge sound suddenly came from above, making his head spin, and his body feel weak. He had no choice but to retreat back into his host Eddie's body.
Seeing Venom disappear, Hawking, floating above, also stopped roaring down.
It turned out that after receiving Peter's notification, he rushed over immediately. Then, seeing Venom below, he instantly used a magnification spell to amplify his voice and roared down.
Venom, this alien symbiote life, is almost immune to most physical and energy attacks. Its strength, when developed to its limit, can reach a terrifying 200 tons.
However, it also has several fatal weaknesses: it cannot survive alone without a host, and it is extremely afraid of sound and Fire.
Its personality and thoughts are mostly influenced by the first host it attaches to.
So, when Hawking saw Venom, his first action was to use sound magic to give it a warning.
He had originally thought that Venom would only arrive on Earth years later when Peter was already working, but he didn't expect it to be so much earlier, and that it didn't attach to Peter first, but directly to Eddie.
It seems that many things in this Universe are not exactly the same as the plotlines he knew, only generally similar.
"You and Jessica hand these guys over to the Police. I'll take Eddie back to the company first to find out what's going on."
After instructing Peter, Hawking descended, picked up Eddie, and swiftly flew towards his company.
Along the way, whenever Venom tried to emerge, Hawking would yell, forcing it back.
