Venom Spider, Tyranny

"Ahhh!!!"

A child's pained cry echoed through the night sky of New York City, carrying far.

The moment the Symbiote possessed his body, the boy clutched his head, his eyes clouded with a grayish-green hue. He knelt on the ground in agony.

"Get away from him!"

Someone shouted in terror, and people immediately retreated in panic. Centered on the boy possessed by the strange monster, everyone except Aunt May backed away more than ten meters.

"Peter, are you alright? Don't scare Aunt May..."

In the now empty space, Aunt May, filled with fear and worry, reached out to help the kneeling boy, but her strength was insufficient to move his small frame.

The boy, kneeling with his head down and face obscured, his hands supporting him on the ground, grew weaker in his cries of pain and struggles. His entire being seemed to be succumbing to an inexplicable calm.

This calm, however, sent chills down the spines of those nearby!

Twenty meters away.

"It's chosen another boy as its new host?"

Seeing the second Symbiote's desperate choice, Xi Nian, in his three-in-one form, felt a flicker of surprise but didn't falter in his decisive and cold assault.

Thwip!

A sharp, hardened dark tendril pierced the air, lashing out at Peter, the boy possessed by the second Symbiote.

At that moment, Venom's voice sounded in his mind: "Something's not right. I can faintly sense that this human child's physique is different from an ordinary human!"

As if responding to Venom's words, just before the tendril's strike, the boy's small hand shot up like lightning, firmly grasping the rapidly descending tendril!

The tip of the hardened dark tendril stopped abruptly, halting about a centimeter in front of Peter's chest.

"Heh heh!!"

A hoarse, chilling voice cackled. The boy holding the tendril let out an inhuman, sinister laugh. His entire body began to ooze a viscous grayish-green liquid. This liquid rapidly expanded, twisted, deformed, and hardened... shaping itself into a more complete and resilient grayish-green bio-organic muscle and skin!

The entire scene made it appear as if Peter's body had matured and mutated, transforming into a grayish-green alien monster nearly two meters tall.

Grayish-green, tall, and with a palpable sense of power emanating from its solid muscles...

This reminded Xi Nian of Abomination.

Although, there were significant differences in appearance compared to Abomination.

The form the second Symbiote now displayed, having possessed the boy, was agile without being bulky. Its arms and legs possessed a resilient, elongated quality. Notably, its chest and back were adorned with stark white Venom Spider markings.

"I didn't expect someone among humans to have such a powerful physique!!" The Venom Spider grinned menacingly, looking down at its grayish-green palm as it clenched. It stuck out its long, scarlet tongue, and a puff of heat escaped its powerfully mutated body.

After possessing the human child Peter, the Symbiote's abilities were finally being showcased to their fullest extent!

It felt stronger than ever before!

And in reality, it was.

The Venom Spider had only just tested its strength and easily intercepted the tendril attack launched by Venom's host! It was a terrifying attack that it previously had no way of defending against!

This made it feel like it had it made – it was stable!

It could do it!!

"With this body as its host, I am the true boss among the Symbiotes!" The Venom Spider was incredibly excited, licking its sharp, ugly fangs.

"Peter, Peter."

A woman's tragic, trembling voice came from nearby.

"You're not Peter." Aunt May looked at the Venom Spider up close, suppressing her fear and not backing down. She sobbed, "Monster, give Peter back to me."

"Heh heh! I'll kill you first, then I'll take care of Venom and his host!" The Venom Spider sneered with a ferocious expression, raising its grayish-green palm and swiping towards the woman's tear-streaked face.

At that moment, a hoarse, cold voice suddenly spoke from the front: "Had enough grabbing?"

"Huh?!"

Before the Venom Spider's palm could fully connect, it was startled to realize that the tendril it had been holding had suddenly reversed its grip on its hand.

Hand in hand, but not in a friendly or beautiful way.

In that instant, the Venom Spider felt an indescribable, terrifying power transmitted unequivocally through the dark tendril, forcibly dragging its entire reinforced body towards it!

Xi Nian's extended tendril yanked the Venom Spider upwards, tossing it into the air. Near thirty meters high, he forcefully slammed it back down towards the ground below!

Boom!!

The earth trembled and cried out.

The Venom Spider was smashed into the ground, sending gravel flying. A pit several meters deep was created in the street!

"Damn it!!"

Covered in dirt, the Venom Spider roared in anger and shot out of the pit. It flipped its wrist, firing two grayish-green spider silk strands that anchored onto the tendril railing behind Xi Nian. With a sudden pull on the silk, the Venom Spider slid rapidly at low altitude, kicking ferociously towards Xi Nian!

The black kitten remained crouched motionlessly on the ground. With one hand still planted in the earth, forming a tendril railing, its tail behind it suddenly whipped forward sharply!

The air exploded!

With a "snap," the Venom Spider was quickly sent flying like a fly being swatted.

"How is this possible!" The Venom Spider, slamming into the ground once more, was completely stunned.

Why?

Even though it had become immeasurably stronger, it still couldn't match the host that Venom had possessed in terms of strength, speed, shapeshifting, and other superpowers!

Or rather.

In its symbiotic form, now parasitizing the human boy with the Spider's abilities and physique, this second symbiote could better understand the terrifying power of the three-in-one Xi Nian!

Who exactly is the monster here?

The Venom Spider leaped away at extreme speed, shooting webs towards a distant skyscraper. Seeing that it couldn't defeat Xi Nian, it decided to stick to its strategy—escape!

But the dark tendrils were faster than it!

The tendrils quickly wrapped around the Venom Spider's legs. Xi Nian, growing increasingly impatient and violent, dragged it, tossing and smashing it repeatedly between the night sky and the ground!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After God knows how many times he had smashed the Venom Spider around.

Xi Nian finally calmed down a little and released the tendrils. Before him, the ground was already riddled with craters.

Dust settled.

Lying in one of the craters, the Venom Spider was sprawled on the ground. Most of its armored body had melted, like a damaged vehicle leaking green oil all over the place, unable to maintain its complete armored combat posture.

The scene could only be described with one word—brutal!

"Is there any chance the host it's possessing can be saved?" Xi Nian asked coldly, barely maintaining a sliver of rationality.

Venom's demonic whisper echoed, "It's hard to say. That boy's physique is indeed special, but he's too young. It all depends on whether he can regain control of his own body."

It grinned ferociously, "My advice? Don't drag this out, just eliminate them both, host included!"

Xi Nian said nothing. The tendrils transformed into a giant scythe, hovering above the Venom Spider's head.

What little human rationality he had left was fading. The three-in-one him was becoming increasingly bloodthirsty and indifferent!
