Chapter 435 The Union of Hulk and Symbiote

In the dimly lit basement of the Helicarrier, Natasha took a deep breath, her eyes reflecting steely determination as she emerged from beneath a large piece of machinery where she had been hiding.

Seeing this, Eddie's face filled with confusion as he urgently whispered to her, "Natasha, what are you doing? That monster is just around the corner!"

"Yes, the combination of Hulk and the Venom Symbiote— let's call it the 'Giant Venom' for the piece of my mind— that thing is terrifying and seemingly unstoppable. I have no idea how to defeat it. But that's precisely why I have to go out there!" Natasha's voice was calm yet resolute as she turned to face Eddie, her expression set with determination. "We are the Avengers. If even we are too afraid to confront it, this Helicarrier is doomed."

With great power comes great responsibility. This is the true essence of a hero's duty and belief.

Natasha knew this all too well. Regardless of the dangers ahead, she would step forward without hesitation. She had spent enough time in the shadows as Black Widow; now, she sought to follow the path of righteousness and light.

"Natasha..." Eddie watched helplessly as the red-haired woman, who was barely stronger than an average human, ran towards the direction where the Giant Venom had gone.

The sounds of the monster's roars and the agonized screams of agents echoed faintly around them. It was clear that the enraged Giant Venom had begun its rampage and destruction aboard the Helicarrier.

Eddie sat in silence for a moment before slamming his fist into his trembling leg, his fingernails digging into his palm. The pain drove out most of the fear clouding his mind.

Yes! 

Rather than waiting to die, it was better to fight back!

"Venom, you've always saved me. This time, it's my turn to save you!" Eddie's resolve crystallized into action as he got up and chased after Natasha.

Meanwhile, deeper within the Helicarrier's lower levels:

"Close all the gates!"

"Use the new energy weapons!"

"Get more men here, increase the firepower!"

"We must stop it here, it cannot reach the control room!!"

Around a dozen SHIELD elite agents stood at the crossroads of a corridor, each gripping strange energy weapons. They formed a defensive line, layer upon layer, holding their breath, waiting for the inevitable arrival of their target.

'Thump, Thump, Thump!'

The rhythmic pounding echoed through the deck, accompanied by a chilling growl as a towering, muscular shadow approached from the end of the dark corridor.

The elite agents swallowed hard. When the noise and tremors peaked, everything suddenly fell silent. The corridor seemed to return to an eerie, deceptive calm.

The agents stared nervously ahead. Suddenly, a black tendril shot out from the darkness, crossing the distance in an instant and piercing through the chests of the two frontmost agents.

The remaining agents froze momentarily, then screamed in terror, "It's here, fire!"

Brilliant, fearsome beams of laser light, resembling fireworks, poured down the corridor, striking the black tendril and the figure at the end. The attacks hit a tough, dark shell, which momentarily cracked before quickly reforming and healing.

"Is this a joke?" The leader of the agents showed an incredulous expression. After all, they were armed with new weapons developed using the Tesseract, capable of easily piercing modern armored tanks!

Yet now, they couldn't even breach the target's outer defense?!

"Roar!"

This action further infuriated the Giant Venom, and it let out a deafening roar. The sound reverberated through the straight corridor, causing the agents to instinctively cover their ears.

"Ahhhhhh!!"

Amidst the screams of the two agents, their bodies were connected by the tendrils and slammed against the walls on both sides. Despite wearing state-of-the-art protective suits, their human bodies were still as fragile as paste, being smashed into a pulp by the black tendrils, splattering crimson blood onto the other agents.

The massive, dark, and grotesque monster emerged from the dim light, revealing its face: narrow, with cold, merciless white eyes, dripping with slime from its ferocious fangs. It exuded an overwhelming aura of violence and savagery, with several black tendrils swaying behind it.

The Giant Venom.

Enhanced with Hulk's formidable strength and physique, multiplied by the symbiote's capabilities, it possessed nearly impenetrable armor and the ability to control its black tendrils over long distances.

If Hulk represented boundless rage, then the Venom Symbiote embodied cold-blooded slaughter. When the two merged, they created the ultimate life form born solely for war.

If there truly were gods of creation, even they would regret bringing into existence this ultimate life form capable of annihilating everything.

"Monster, an absolute monster..."

Facing the approaching Giant Venom, the remaining elite agents lying on the ground began to tremble uncontrollably, unable to muster any resistance or even thoughts of counterattack.

Just then, a bullet flew from behind the Giant Venom, hitting it on the back of its head. The bullet flattened upon impact, barely scratching it.

However, this action caught the attention of the Giant Venom. It turned around, only to see Natasha, clad in combat attire, holding a handgun and gesturing provocatively with her finger.

"Big guy, it's getting dark, time for the sun to set."

"Roar!"

Enraged, the Giant Venom responded with several rapid shots of its black tendrils. Natasha had no intention of fighting, seeing that she had drawn its attention, she flipped her vibrant red hair and dashed away without looking back.

Natasha was in the lead, followed closely by the Giant Venom, and they began a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Although Natasha kept running towards the narrow corridor, the Giant Venom charged recklessly, forcefully creating a path with its monstrous body, steadily closing the gap between them.

Seeing a set of iron stairs ahead, Natasha sprinted faster, leaping and grabbing onto the handrail on the upper level. But the Giant Venom caught up, smashing the iron stairs and breaking through three or four layers of Iron Man's interior walls due to its excessive force.

Gasping for breath, Natasha hung onto the handrail, her body suspended in mid-air. Seeing the Giant Venom about to turn back, a hand suddenly reached down from the upper level and grabbed her.

Looking up, Natasha saw Eddie. He pulled her up with determination and said in a low voice, "Natasha, you're right. We must face it."

"Is there a way?" Natasha asked quickly after standing up.

Eddie shook his head. "We can't handle it in this fused state. Our only chance is to separate Venom from Hulk, then we can deal with them one by one."

"How can we separate them? Does Venom have any weaknesses?" Natasha continued to inquire.

With a grim expression, Eddie thought for a moment before his eyes lit up. "As far as I know, it doesn't. But both Venom and Hulk fear one person's presence. Does that count as a weakness?"

"Who?" Natasha asked subconsciously.

"Symbol Of Piece, Kyle" Eddie repled in a calm tone.
