Watching the pleading Venom clinging to him like sticky candy, Syd felt a bit helpless.

If this creature had shown aggression, he would have dealt with it immediately, but its groveling made it harder to handle.

He temporarily shifted his attention and looked at Jack and Albert.

"No, no, don't kill us!"

Noticing Syd's gaze, Jack hurriedly begged for mercy.

Syd glanced at their terrified faces but ignored their pleas.

Since they had intended to kill him for the bounty, their deaths were their own fault.

In the next second, with Jack and Albert looking on in terror and Venom in surprise, black waves surged in Syd's hand.

[Black Particle Experience +1]

[Black Particle Experience +1]

Two black particles shot out like bullets towards Jack and Albert.

Alert, they dodged to the side, avoiding the first two particles.

[Black Particle Experience +1]...

No matter how much they tried to dodge, they couldn't escape the next four black particles and were struck in the chest.

Blood flowed, and as he lay dying, Albert cursed, "You'll come to hell to find us soon enough!"

"Killing us won't end it. Your bounty will keep rising, and stronger people will come after you!"

"Hope you don't meet the top-ranked assassins, or else..."

Albert gave a bitter laugh before he stopped breathing, and Jack soon followed after uttering his own curses.

Seeing them dead, Venom quickly spoke up, "Human, don't worry about their words. If you and I merge, everything can be solved!"

"We can tear apart anyone in our way!"

Finally, his small black face was full of pleading, "Please, human, merge with me. We will be the strongest!"

Listening to Venom's incessant chatter, Syd felt a headache coming on.

Eliminating it would be troublesome, and if he threw it away, it would likely come back...

After a moment of thought, he decided to negotiate with Venom.

"Merging completely with you is not an option..." Syd said slowly.

Venom's black face filled with disappointment, but before he could continue pleading, Syd said something that surprised him.

"However, I can let you merge with my right hand. If you agree and can manage that..."

Syd looked calmly at Venom.

He had thought this through. Venom wasn't entirely bad; there were obvious benefits to merging with it.

If it was just his right arm, he could agree to that. As for a full-body merge, he outright rejected the idea.

A complete merge meant Venom would be inside his body, which could cause trouble if it acted up.

Moreover, a full merge meant Venom would have access to his brain, and without mental abilities, it might learn his memories, which Syd could not accept.

But if it was just his right arm, any problems wouldn't be severe.

Even if Venom tried something, his internal photon energy would alert him immediately.

Venom would have to get past the photon energy first!

"I warn you, if you go beyond my right arm..."

Before Syd could finish his warning, Venom excitedly interrupted, "Human, I agree!"

Venom's black liquid body immediately jumped onto Syd's right arm and quickly seeped in.

Syd didn't feel much, only sensing something entering his arm and feeling a presence there.

He had the sense that he could expel Venom at any time if he wanted to.

Aside from that, there was no discomfort.

"Symbiotes are really special..." Syd muttered to himself.

While Syd was adjusting, Venom inside him was also exploring.

It had only merged for a second or two before, but now, almost fully merged, it could feel the difference completely.

"Human, you are unique, powerful. I've never seen anything like you!"

Venom was filled with awe.

If other humans were weak and fragile, this one was different, unique!

The warm energy like sunlight, the mysterious unknown cells...

All of it gave Venom unprecedented power. It felt stronger than ever!

It felt full of energy, replenishing its depleted reserves rapidly!

In its excitement, it instinctively tried to use its symbiote power to replicate the host's abilities.

But something unexpected happened!

Venom was shocked to find it couldn't replicate this host's mysterious cellular factors.

"Damn, I've never seen anything like this!" Venom exclaimed.

What was going on?

Besides that, it discovered something unbelievable.

These mysterious cells were actually eroding it!

Threads of mysterious power appeared, slowly altering it!

Venom was questioning its existence.

It had always been the one to erode others, and now it was being eroded?

Was it the symbiote, or was this boy the real symbiote?

Venom's feelings fluctuated, but ultimately, it couldn't bear to leave this human's body.

This host was too perfect, unlike any other it had ever encountered!

Besides that, it unexpectedly discovered that although it couldn't clone the mysterious cellular factors, it could absorb sunlight.

Syd's arm extended a black liquid tendril.

As sunlight hit the tendril, it felt warm, and its depleted energy seemed to replenish.

Venom was overjoyed.

In its excitement, the tendril transformed into a small black head.

"This is amazing!"

Venom shouted in delight.

Then, excitedly, it said, "You are special, unlike any ordinary human. It's like you're not even the same species!"

"I've never seen anything so... so..."

It became incoherent.

Syd looked at it in surprise and asked, learning the general situation.

Absorbing sunlight wasn't a big deal, probably due to the energy absorption ability.

"Mysterious factor in the cells?"

Syd instantly thought of Sunshine.
