Chapter 335 Master

"I'd appreciate it if you rolled down to hell, you fucking bastard!"

Eddie flicked his fingers, and the lighter with a flame landed crisply on the ground, immediately igniting the gasoline. In an instant, it transformed into a fierce blaze, spreading towards the twisted and malevolent form of Riot.

If sound waves only caused suppression effects on the Symbiote, prompting it to separate from the host and lose its ability to move, then fire is synonymous with 'death' and 'destruction' for the Symbiote.

"Hiss!"

Riot, in its dead gray viscous liquid form, emitted a horrifying and sharp scream under the burning flames. Some parts of its body clung desperately to the host, unwilling to let go.

Host Carlton struggled continuously in the gray liquid quagmire, reaching out towards Eddie several meters away. His eyes carried a desperate hope for survival, filled with a fearful plea. "Save me! After this, I'll give you as much money as you want!"

"If you ever had a shred of mercy for those vagrants used as experimental subjects, I would naturally save you," Eddie responded coldly to the plea. "Unfortunately, you didn't."

"I curse you! You, this blood-stained murderer, will never find peace in the future!" Carlton, a technology research company executive, uttered vile and coarse words in his final moments, constantly cursing.

In the relentless consumption of the flames, his voice weakened continuously. Finally, his body which was entwined with Riot's true form, became a foul-smelling fuel.

The flames spread along the gasoline on the ground, forming a localized sea of fire. Eddie, still in the dark form of Venom, stood motionless in the center. His long and slightly protruding white eyes contrasted with the firelight, seemingly indifferent to the raging inferno at his feet.

"Venom, I've realized that it's much more satisfying to deal with these inhumane bad people without mercy. The best way is to bite off their heads directly," Eddie grinned wickedly.

Evil begets evil; preaching and reform are all unnecessary!

"I'm glad you understand that," Venom's voice echoed in Eddie's mind. Then, it turned serious, "By the way, don't relax so soon. Just now, I vaguely sensed it – there's another living Symbiote in this area of the company!"

"What are you saying?" Eddie tensed both mentally and physically, scanning the surrounding buildings in the sea of fire. He inquired gravely, "Isn't there only four extraterrestrial Symbiotes in New York? No matter how you count them, we've successfully dealt with all four. Why are there still leftovers?"

"If you're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?" Venom replied, suddenly issuing a chilling warning, "It's here; it's approaching us!"

Eddie raised his head in alarm, catching a glimpse of a blurry black figure falling, as if someone had jumped into the battlefield from the top of the launch tower.

In conjunction with Venom's warning, the newcomer was evidently the fifth Symbiote with its host.

"Strike first!"

Before Eddie could clearly see the person, he instinctively rushed forward into the firelight, swinging his dark fist, creating a whistling gust of wind.

"Eddie, no!" "Stop!" "Protect the master!"

As soon as Eddie launched his attack, more than a dozen exclamations rang out around him.

'Step, step!'

Two graceful figures took the lead, one on the left and one on the right, inserted themselves into the battle. They opened their palms, creating a wall of air that blocked everything.

Silver light blinked, forming an air barrier that blocked everything.

Green mist floated, and metal objects rushed forward autonomously.

'Boom!'

Under the simultaneous attack of two powerful abilities, Eddie's arms went numb, and without suspense, he flew backward, retreating several steps before stabilizing himself.

The collision of monster punches and dual abilities disrupted the air, bursting with energy. The fire on the battlefield was extinguished by the pressure from above.

Eddie shook his hand, looking at the front in surprise and suspicion. Blocking his attack was none other than Lorna and Raina, his two superiors.

Behind the two beautiful women, Kyle, dressed casually, shook his head helplessly. When did he reach the point where he needed others to protect him? But this feeling wasn't too bad.

"Be careful; the person behind you has a Symbiote attached to their body," Eddie hoarsely spoke up.

"Eddie, are you confused?" Raina frowned coldly. Whoever dared to lay a hand on the boss was her lifelong enemy.

"Brother, look more carefully. Who is the person behind us?" Lorna kindly reminded. She still had some goodwill towards Eddie. Of course, this goodwill was limited to the level of comrades in life and death.

"Him?" Eddie took a closer look.

With silver hair, broken golden eyes, a handsome young face, a perfectly proportioned and tall golden ratio figure, and an imposing presence that ordinary casual wear couldn't conceal.

"He is... the boss?"

Eddie was dumbfounded, and even Venom inside him was shocked.

The host of the fifth mysterious Symbiote is the Symbol of Peace?

"You must be Eddie, right?" Kyle remained calm, taking steps forward, passing Lorna and Raina, and approaching Eddie.

The dark liquid peeled off from the top of Eddie's head, and Eddie returned to Venom's all-encompassing combat form, revealing himself as an ordinary young man in his original form. He answered with a bit of shyness, without the dominating aura he had during the battle, "Yes, boss."

"Can I talk to the Symbiote inside you?" Kyle asked, getting straight to the point.

Eddie did not respond immediately. After communicating with Venom through his thoughts, he nodded cautiously, "Yes, you can. But you must ensure not to harm Venom. Although it's also an extraterrestrial Symbiote, it's a... good one."

"Hey, hey, you're the good one! The whole family is good!" Venom, feeling that the term 'good' was purely an insult, immediately cursed, revealing its true form. A black liquid flowed out from Eddie's chest, transforming into a small black monster head.

But as Venom's gaze met Kyle's, it fell into silence again, and its white eyes revealed a profound sense of confusion.

"You are Venom."

Kyle squinted his eyes. He was within three meters, and there was no sign of a Lifeform Card appearing. This meant that the Symbiote in front of him was not bound by Card Space restrictions.

"Yes." Venom nodded inexplicably obediently, surprising Eddie with its compliance.

Kyle looked at Venom and threw out a strange question, "Do you recognize me?"

"What do you mean? Although I've heard your name many times on Earth, this is the first time I've seen you in person."

Venom paused in its words, self-doubtfully saying, "But you do give me a strange sense of familiarity. Have you been to Planet Sakaar?"

Planet Sakaar?

A flash of understanding crossed Kyle's eyes. He asked coldly, "Do you know Slaughter?"

"Sla... Slaughter?"

Venom repeated the name, suddenly feeling its head splitting, emitting a painful hoarse sound. Its white eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, stared directly at Kyle. "Your name is Kyle, and there's Slaughter... What's going on? I seem to have heard these two names a very, very long time ago, but I can't remember."

"Boss, Venom..."

Eddie became more nervous. In these days of symbiotic coexistence with Venom, he had long regarded Venom as a companion.

"It's okay."

Kyle waved his hand, signaling Eddie not to speak. He reached out and gently touched Venom's head, saying, "If you can't remember, don't force yourself. Just call me 'boss' in the future. Let me introduce someone to you."

In response to his words, the dark liquid surged from Kyle's face, transforming into a dark monster mask.

Venom smiled friendly, saying, "I'm your Master."
