"Parasitic Sequence?"

Ben was taken aback.

I was somewhat surprised by this new term.

It wasn't surprising Ben Little Broken Watch had collected Venom's genes, but the fact that he had unlocked a new sequence was something he hadn't expected.

He quickly figured out what Parasitic Sequence was.

As is well known, Symbiote cannot exist independently of their host for extended periods.

Over time, the Symbiote will die because it will be unable to absorb nutrients.

Similar life forms exist in the Ben 10 Universe. Although the Little Broken Watch has protective mechanisms that ensure these parasites can survive even without a host for a long time.

However, Azmuth did not intend to disrupt the parasitic species' way of life, so he designed a subsystem called the Parasitic Sequence within the Little Broken Watch.

The genes included in the Parasitic Sequence allow the wearer to not only transform into that species directly through the watch, but also activate Parasitic Mode to possess other Alien Hero.

It's like putting Symbiote suits on all the heroes.

Whether he's strong or not is another matter, but he's definitely handsome!

However, Ben values another ability of the Symbiote more—genetic recording.

While possessing a host and providing the host with a power boost, the Symbiote can also acquire the host's DNA information to strengthen itself.

Just like how Venom, after possessing Spider-Man, gained most of the spider's abilities and his fighting style became more similar to Spider-Man's.

It's just a violent version.

This ability originated from Black King Knull. Imprisoned by the gods, Knull controlled the Symbiote to fuse with the genes of lower animals in order to regain his power, and then returned to his embrace with the power.

This also limits the genetic replication of Symbiote, allowing them to acquire only one ability.

But for Ben, it was enough.

He came up with a solution to the Alien X problem.

Of course, it's not the kind of opportunistic method that involves absorbing Alien X's genes and then fusing them with the power of other alien races.

Alien X's power can indeed be absorbed, but Enara and Oyana can regain their power immediately if they wish.

Ben felt that if he dared to do that, the two of them would immediately put aside their argument and turn against him.

Therefore, no matter how hard Ben tries to acquire Alien X's powers, it will be in vain until he gains Enara and Oyana's forgiveness.

He scooped the Venom from the ground, and seeing that it had no way to escape, the Venom, now in a bottle, immediately started cursing.

"Let me go, you piece of shit!"

"You have no idea who I am!"

"Do you believe me or not... beep beep beep beep..."

Venom's insults were incredibly vulgar, and his chatter was almost as incessant as Peter's, constantly babbling on as if he were trying to shatter Ben's eardrums.

Ben lazy to listen to his nonsense, stuffed the glass bottle into his backpack and immediately returned to Primus.

At this point, Banner Primus.

Connors originally lived at the company, but after Norman took control of H.A.M.M.E.R., Connors was restored to his honor and became a hero after participating in the war against Hydra.

Therefore, he no longer needed to live at the company, but could go home to reunite with his wife and son.

As for Doctor Otto, he also has his own home.

At that moment, Banner, rubbing his eyes and dozing off, came out wearing his crooked pajamas.

"What's wrong?"

"Found something interesting," Ben pulled a glass bottle containing Venom from his bag. "Get me a Sonic Resonance Device."

At this moment, Venom was probably exhausted, drooping motionless in the bottle, its two white eyes squeezed together, looking listless.

Things were fine when they were on the spaceship, which was specifically designed for Symbiote and could provide them with nutrients even without a host.

However, once they arrive on Earth, they may die if they do not have a host to attach to for an extended period of time.

"What's this?"

After seeing Venom, Banner felt much less sleepy. The sludge that Ben had stuffed in front of him looked so real that it instantly piqued his interest in studying it.

However, Ben cautioned, "Be careful, Doctor Banner. This is an alien Symbiote. Once possessed, it amplifies your emotions and makes you more irritable."

Upon hearing this, Banner immediately withdrew his outstretched hand as if it had touched a flame.

He took a few steps back, keeping a distance of more than a meter from Ben, and looked at Venom with a wary expression.

At that moment, he was completely wide awake.

"Keep him away from me..."

He even felt that Ben shouldn't have brought this horrible creature back and shared a room with him.

If something unexpected happens and Hulk gets possessed, it will be a disaster!

"Don't worry, Doctor Banner. Symbiote are afraid of sound waves and fire. As long as we take proper precautions, he won't escape."

"Wait, how did you know...?"

Inside the bottle, Venom hissed as if it had seen a ghost.

"Holy crap!" Banner exclaimed, covering his face in shock. "This disgusting parasite can actually talk, and in English at that!"

This immediately stunned Venom.

You're the real parasite!

To be honest, Venom has broken through my defenses a bit.

Generally speaking, Venom's personality is characterized by shamelessness; his skin is thicker than a city wall.

Especially after being influenced by Deadpool's ideology, he's not easily bothered by trivial matters.

However, the word "parasite" is a taboo word!

Because he is a true parasite.

It's like if you curse United States with "cnm," they might not feel anything, but if you call them white pigs, and say that pretty girls are being taken advantage of by black guys, they'll be the first ones to break down.

Only when a person's pain point is truly touched will the attack be effective.

The Venom, which had already begun to weaken, started spraying wildly again.

"Shut up."

Ben was so annoyed that he took him directly to an isolation laboratory in the basement and threw him into a sonic machine.

In an instant, the Venom was stimulated by the surrounding sound waves and began to sprout sharp spikes like a sea urchin.

"Ah--Stop! Stop! I surrender!"

Venom immediately became docile.

Ben turned off the machine.

The Venom, having been tormented, immediately softened and flowed down, resembling a pool of oil.

"That's amazing."

Banner stood outside the lab, looking at Venom through the glass, marveling at its current state.

He noticed that the volume of the Venom had changed.

Initially, it was very small inside the glass container. After being attacked by sound waves, it contracted violently and is now in a liquid state.

"How exactly did they do that?"

Venom would also like to ask: How did you know my weakness?

Symbiote have weaknesses from the moment they are born.

In the beginning, Knull forged the All-Black the Necrosword using the bones of Celestial and his own shadow. The clash of metal and the burning of flames became their weakness.

However, there are not many people in the universe who know their weaknesses.

But he didn't say anything.

Deadpool's experience told him that the best thing to do in this situation was to play dead.

He thought for a moment and realized that he had been attacked by the Chitauri fleet. The Chitauri army was not far from Earth, and no matter what their purpose was, they would not let Earth go.

Wherever those Cosmic Locusts went, nothing was left standing.

There's absolutely no need for me to go against these few Earthlings.

All they need to do is wait for the Chitauri army to arrive, and Earth will fall, allowing them to escape naturally.

Then I'll possess those Chitauri and devour all the brains of Earthlings!

Plan works! Hehehe!

Venom thought he was a genius.

Ben knew, of course, that Venom couldn't die so easily, and he couldn't let Venom die either.

After all, Flash needs Venom's help to regain his memories.

However, the current Venom is a bit too urban for Flash. Ben is worried that if Flash puts on it, he won't become Agent Venom, but a Spider-Bully.

"We still need to find a time to let Venom possess Peter."

Ben thought to himself.

Venom that hasn't been baptized by Spider-Man isn't a good Venom!

Then, he looked at Venom and asked:

"Venom, besides you, have any other Symbiote come to this planet?"

How did you know my name was Venom?

Upon hearing Ben call his name, Venom, who had been feigning death, immediately poked his face out of the pool of liquid and asked in surprise.

He wanted to continue playing dead, but he realized that this guy seemed to know too much about them Symbiote, and now he was even calling him by name.

That's really strange.

"You don't happen to know that lunatic, do you?"

He asked, puzzled.

Then he said, "Forget it, who cares!"

"You know Deadpool?"

Ben countered with a question.

He had never heard of Deadpool in the past ten years, and he never imagined that Venom had actually worn Deadpool.

"Damn, you actually know him?"

Venom roared, then launched into a frenzied tirade against Ben: "They all say I'm crazy, but he's the crazy one!"

"Do you dare to think about it?"

"I told him my body could turn into a weapon, and he actually told me to turn into a firearm so he could fire a shot at me, you understand?"

"I told him I wasn't a cup, but he insisted I stick my head out and give it to him... He said he'd never tried giving himself to someone with his own mouth before..."

"Do you know how much of a shock this is for a Symbiote baby like me?"

The Venom roared.

Banner was stunned; his entire worldview had been completely shattered.

Then Ben asked, "So you gave it to me?"

Venom smacked his lips and said, "He insisted on..."

"You gave it to him just because he asked?" Ben's expression became even more disgusted.

Venom broke through the defenses and roared at Ben at an even louder volume:

He insists!

"You gave it to him just because he insisted?"

Venom:...

For a moment, all three people in the laboratory fell silent.

After a long pause, Ben finally spoke, "Doctor Banner, I don't think I touched him with my hands, did I?"

I don't know if you touched him when you grabbed him, but I didn't.

Banner said thankfully.

Ben's face darkened further.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by this?!"

Venom was displeased. "I'm still clean! Do you really think I would leave behind those disgusting things?"

"Shut up!"

Now I know why you have so many descendants.

Ben shook his hand dismissively, then left his seat to clean his watch properly.

So Banner jogged off with Ben.

Being alone with Venom, even with just a glass partition, made him extremely uncomfortable.

Banner said, "We'd better find something to keep him safe forever."

He was genuinely worried that Venom might sneak out without his knowledge and possess him.

If Hulk is provoked, even if Ben capable of subduing him, it will cause enormous destruction.

You're right.

The Ben nodded.

He plans to modify Venom's escape pod and create a sealed space where Venom can survive.

After cleaning the watch, Ben returned to the lab; Blu Banner had already gone back to rest.

When Venom saw him return, it became active again, slapping against the glass wall with a thud, like a blob of fluid used to clean a computer keyboard.

He offered, "You want to know the whereabouts of the other five Symbiote from me, but I won't tell you anything."

"But you've already said it yourself."

Ben spread his hands. "Eunice?"

Eunice's calm voice came through.

The Life Foundation has no record of acquiring any objects from outer space.

Back at the Stark Expo, Ben had already instructed Eunice to monitor the Life Foundation's every move. Now it seems that the Symbiote has not fallen into their hands this time.

"You won't find them, but I can," Venom laughed smugly, then emphasized, "But I won't tell you anything."

Ben glanced at him.

He could easily understand that Venom meant: more money is needed.

So he said, "What do you want?"

"I'm going to eat you..." Venom noticed Ben's gaze turn dangerous and quickly changed his tune, "I meant, that guy's brain!"

Don't even think about it.

Ben rolled his eyes.

Blu Banner is worth more than ten Venom.

Besides, Ben doesn't provide brains.

Wait, maybe not.

Ben suddenly remembered that quite a few brains seemed to be on their way to Earth.

He then curled his lips into a smile that would chill even Venom to the bone, and said, "Venom, you've got plenty of brains, but I wonder if you're picky about food."

"Really?"

Then Ben told him that a Chitauri army would arrive on Earth in a few months.

"You guys already knew?"

Venom countered, "But you got the timing wrong. It's not a few months from now; I estimate it's only a few days."

Now it was Ben's turn to be surprised.

So Venom recounted how he had been attacked by the Chitauri, and then said in a very disdainful tone, "Originally, I, Venom, would never have eaten the brains of those locusts!"

"They're all wholesale products from farms; their brain capacity is even smaller than a rooster's."

But halfway through his sentence, he broke into a sinister laugh:

"But who told them to dare attack me!"

"Right now I just want to bite their heads off and use them as chamber pots!"
