Chapter 310 Eddie's Decision

"Damn you kid!"

Seeing Eddie defy its intentions, Beelzebub erupted in anger. Green pupils blinked with a cold light as it forcefully dragged Venom's dual spikes backward. It aimed to kill Eddie before anything else.

"Just stay put!" Venom sneered. Although its host's endurance was fading, the fully covered body was on the verge of disintegration, and its body was pinned to the wall by Beelzebub's spear, the black liquid from its main body flowed down the wall.

However, it still firmly locked Beelzebub with its arms, preventing it from escaping the three-meter range and endangering Eddie's safety.

The intense struggle and desperate wrestling with over ten tons of strength from both sides caused vibrations in the room. The seemingly sturdy walls and floor were on the verge of collapse, and the shaken dust filled the room.

"You bastard! I'll swallow you whole!" Beelzebub roared in anger. A part of its liquid began to retract, covering Venom's chest along the spear, gradually devouring Venom's main body.

"Hurry!" Venom hoarsely shouted, but the words were not directed at Beelzebub. Instead, they were aimed at Eddie.

"Understood!"

Eddie rushed into the kitchen without hesitation, tore open the gas pipe, and casually closed the window.

"Landlord, this isn't my fault." Eddie sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth, and, with a hot-headed decision, turned the gas valve open.

Within seconds, the unpleasant smell of gas rushed into his nostrils. After filling the cramped kitchen, it leaked out into the living room through the open door.

Eddie covered his nose and mouth, turning to leave the living room. He found Venom and Beelzebub still locked in a struggle, their upper bodies dissolved into indistinguishable forms.

Dark liquid and brown liquid entwined, wrapping around the lower halves of their hosts. They floated and moved like snakes, biting and tearing at each other.

However, it was clear that the adult Beelzebub had the upper hand, as the brown liquid covered one-fifth of Venom's main body.

"All right, what do we do now?" Eddie asked anxiously.

Venom, struggling against Beelzebub's consumption, formed a small head from the black liquid. It hoarsely said, "It's simple. In ten seconds, ignite it."

"Oh." Eddie nodded instinctively. However, after realizing the concept of igniting gas, his eyes widened in shock. "Did you say ignite... and explode the gas?"

"Yes! If you don't want to die, just do it. You heard what it said earlier. If it survives, you're done for," Venom answered triumphantly.

"You bastard, you tricked me." Eddie chuckled repeatedly. But after giving it some thought, he realized that since he had chosen to stay and opened the gas valve, he had already aligned himself with Venom.

"At this point, there's no turning back." Eddie made a choice without complaining. He retrieved a lighter from the overturned drawer on the ground.

Ten seconds quickly passed, and the gas began to fill the entire room and hallway.

Beelzebub, overhearing Venom and Eddie's conversation, probably guessed what gas was. In terrified screams, it exclaimed, "You freak, do you want to die with me?!"

"Who said I want to die with you?" Venom laughed and retorted.

"Don't you know? The thing we fear the most is fire and Sound." Beelzebub said fearfully.

Venom didn't respond but urged Eddie quickly, "Time's up. Go outside the corridor and ignite the gas in the room."

"I got it." Eddie covered his nose and mouth, under Venom's protection, and smoothly passed through the doorway to the relatively clean corridor.

Out of the immediate danger in the room, Eddie's subconscious told him not to do anything unnecessary. He quickly headed to the stairs in the corridor, trying to distance himself from tonight's nightmarish catastrophe.

But Beelzebub's warning and Venom's advice still echoed faintly in his ears.

Eddie hadn't walked far when he stopped abruptly, looking at the metal lighter lying in his palm. At the same time, Venom's voice came from the room behind, strained, "Okay, get it done! I can't hold on much longer!"

"Death is death... pity, I'm still a virgin." Eddie sighed mournfully, igniting the flame with the lighter and forcefully throwing it into the room behind him.

'Whoosh—'

The lighter, carrying flames, spun a few times, passing by Venom and Beelzebub. Amidst Beelzebub's desperate screams, the flammable gas filled the air, undergoing a rapid chemical reaction.

'Boom!!!'

People on the streets in the residential area looked up in horror. They could clearly see a massive explosion on the fifth floor of the apartment building.

The shockwave created by the explosion shattered the glass of doors and windows, and roaring flames and thick black smoke billowed outward.

Inside the room.

In just an instant, Beelzebub's monstrous body, along with its screaming, was completely engulfed in a sea of explosive flames.

"It's really over now." Eddie watched the flames and shockwaves rushing towards the door with wide-open eyes. Instead of making an effort to escape, he closed his eyes resigning to his fate.

In the moment before the explosion enveloped Eddie, a dark shadow swiftly passed, attaching itself to his body.

Then, everything was annihilated in the explosion.

Five minutes later.

Fire trucks and police cars, sounding their long sirens, arrived at the scene belatedly. They initiated rescue operations on the building and dispersed the onlookers, setting up police tape.

Half an hour later.

Three inconspicuous black business vans marked with sword and shield symbols, along with a silver Chevrolet with a card symbol, almost simultaneously arrived at the disaster scene. The police officers blocking the scene seemed to have received a notice and willingly gave them the green light.

Cars parked one after another at the entrance of the deserted building.

A stunning woman with crimson short hair, accompanied by a group of armed agents, quickly descended from the SHIELD vehicle.

Following closely behind, a cold and elegant girl with emerald green short hair, accompanied by three suited men, emerged from the specialized vehicle of the Supernatural Incident Bureau.

"Hmm? Why isn't Raina coming this time?" Natasha asked in surprise.

She wore her usual tight black leather jacket, showcasing her slender and graceful figure. After holding the position of SHIELD Deputy Director for a while, she exuded a faint air of authority and stability.

"What's the matter? Is my presence not acceptable?" Lorna grunted dissatisfiedly. With crossed arms and a male-style shirt and suit attire, she also sported the demon card emblem exclusive to the Carl Family.

Compared to Natasha's sexiness, Lorna exuded a unique charm and a permeating sense of dominance.

"That's not it, let's go together." Natasha shrugged, not arguing with her, taking the lead to go upstairs.

The two of them often clashed when together.

The main reason was Natasha disapproved of Lorna's capriciousness and casualness in handling things, while Lorna couldn't stand Natasha's strictness and sex appeal. The two top-tier beauties collided whenever they met.

Of course, when these two distinctly styled beauties walked together, they became a breathtaking sight, adding to New York City's stunning scenery.

Few knew that they were both members of the Carl Family.
