Solving the Alien X Problem

"So..."

"You Symbiote can actually sense each other to some extent?"

Ben asked.

A few minutes earlier, he had signed an agreement with Venom to fight the Chitauri army together, and then obtained from Venom the method to locate the other Symbiote.

"That's right, so all you need to do is let me possess your body, and then wander around the area where their spaceship landed a few times, and you might find them."

Venom excitedly said:

"Stop talking nonsense and come on over!"

"Let me out, we'll go find them together!"

The unidentified object even wriggled excitedly a few times, as if it couldn't wait any longer.

But the problem is,

If Symbiote can sense each other, then Ben wouldn't need Venom at all, since he himself is Symbiote.

"When did I ever say I was going to release you?"

Ben countered with a question.

"Are you going to break our contract?"

Venom roared in disbelief, as if he had been betrayed.

"I didn't sign any contract." Ben pressed his finger on the Little Broken Watch, and the icons inside began to cycle.

He quickly found Super-Kill on the Parasitic List.

"Without me, you simply couldn't—what the hell?"

One second Venom was roaring, the next he was shocked to find that Ben, who was standing in front of him, suddenly emitted a green light, and then his body began to shrink.

Then a black Symbiote the size of a head appeared before his eyes.

This Symbiote looks almost identical to Venom, the only differences being the Little Broken Watch mark on its head and its torn, white-green eyes.

"Are you Symbiote too?"

Venom's expression twisted in horror.

"But why do you look so much like me? Did my dad have an affair?"

He blurted it out, but the next moment he slapped himself hard.

He didn't have a biological father at all.

All Symbiote should originate from Knull.

Ben grinned.

Those who frequently travel through American Comics know that most protagonists who come to Marvel inevitably have to create a Symbiote for themselves.

But he was different; he became Symbiote.

"I have this urge to eat brains right now!"

Ben grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth.

Upon hearing this, Venom chuckled.

I knew it!

"I knew there would be other Symbiote in this world that understand me!"

"Brains, lungs, heart... so much delicious food! But too little time!" Venom exclaimed. "My brother, let me out of here, let's go enjoy the desserts of this planet together!"

Venom is in a real hurry.

But Ben glared at him, and Venom immediately fell silent.

In reality, he had absolutely no bloodlust. If he had any instincts, it was the desire to find a host to parasitize.

Spider-Man would be even better.

He thought.

Wait, I am Spider-Man myself!

That's alright then.

The part on Ben's forehead began to flow, bringing the core of the Little Broken Watch to his eyes, and then he extended a tentacle and pressed it on the watch.

As mentioned before, Symbiote can replicate the host's abilities.

Because Venom has possessed Spider-Man for a long time in many universes, most Venom- type Symbiote have spider- Superpowers.

Ben is planning to have Super-Kill possess an Alien Hero and gain their power.

This hero is --

"Ditto!"

In an instant, Ben transformed into a creature the size of a penguin, with fins on its head and cheeks.

Ditto is Splixson. He is so weak that he has almost no fighting ability, but he possesses an extremely powerful ability.

That's a clone.

Ben wanted to replicate in Venom was the ability to create clones.

At that very moment, the instant Ben transformed into Ditto, Super-Kill instantly expanded, enveloping Ditto like a sphere. Then, right in front of Venom, a ferocious and terrifying Overkill Ditto appeared.

Having witnessed all of this firsthand, Venom went even crazier.

"What exactly are you?"

He simply couldn't understand what Ben was.

Why is the other party sometimes a human, sometimes a Symbiote, and able to conjure up a penguin to parasitize itself?

Hearing Venom's question, Ben glanced at him, and the Symbiote, half its face torn open at the mouth, revealed two different faces, and two voices overlapped:

"We are, Overkill Ditto."

Wow, cool!

Venom's eyes lit up immediately; he was amazed by Ben's self-introduction.

He thought that sooner or later he would find a host and then use this method to introduce himself.

He's already decided; he'll say it when the time comes:

We are Venom!

Cool!

Venom instantly ascended to heaven on the spot.

But Ben had more important things to do.

At this moment, he felt that he had two different consciousnesses: one was Super-Kill, and the other was Ditto.

He's on both sides, but one is influenced by the Symbiote instinct, and the other by Ditto.

Ben directly uses his clone ability.

The next moment, his body split in the middle, and another Overkill Ditto appeared, followed by four, eight, sixteen... until the entire room was filled.

The more I looked at Venom, the more astonished I became.

He had no idea what Ben was doing, nor did he know what the other person was.

But clearly, the other party had no intention of paying him any attention.

Then the Venom shrank back, its gaze sweeping over everything with eyes like those of a fried egg.

"Capability replication successful."

Suddenly, Ben, who belonged to the Super-Kill mindset, spoke up.

Then, all the Ditto simultaneously widened their eyes, bursting forth with a green light, and instantly merged into one, transforming back into Ben's original form.

However, Super-Kill did not revert to his original form. Instead, he clung to the watch, staining half of Ben's hand black.

Ben said, "Then let's give it a try."

Then, he shouted:

"Mask!"

The next moment, the Symbiote Super-Kill enveloped his entire body, and he donned the Symbiote Suit.

This was a more ferocious and terrifying suit of armor than his original black one, with liquid Symbiote scattering out like threads, resembling potent poison.

The patterns on his face and body were particularly terrifying, like a nightmare!

Nightmare Hacker!

Despite being possessed by Super-Kill, Ben didn't feel his strength increase much.

After all, this is the first time the Symbiote Super-Kill has possessed him, and the boost it brings is negligible.

Fortunately, Ben wasn't after that slight increase in strength.

"Try using the clone ability."

In an instant, another Ben appeared, dressed exactly like him.

only...

"This Little Broken Watch cannot be copied."

This did not surprise Ben.

Super-Kill's copying ability isn't powerful enough to replicate Little Broken Watch.

But it's enough.

Ben deactivated his clone ability, and his Super-Kill slowly faded, gradually returning to the area around the Little Broken Watch, turning the watch black.

Then he said, "In a bit, I'll become Alien X..."

"Wait," Super-Kill immediately said, "I can't possess Alien X and then create a second Alien X."

Alien X's body transcends time, space, dimensions, and existence itself; he is both nothingness and Infinity.

This is not something that can be affected by Super-Kill.

"I know, I just want you to come with me to the consciousness space," Ben said.

Super-Kill immediately understood.

He understood, of course, because he was also Ben.

"Alien X!"

Ben transformed into Alien X once again, and at the same time, Super-Kill instantly possessed him, but in the next moment, it was bounced back as if it had touched some kind of barrier.

It splashed all over the ground like water droplets that had been shattered.

Then, all the fragments came together again, piecing together a face:

"Alien X rejected me."

--

Within the space of consciousness.

The Infinity starlight was as bright as the universe.

In the boundless starry sky, two enormous female faces floated silently.

Enara seemed still angry, and upon seeing Ben appear, she immediately spoke in a mocking tone:

"That jerk is here again."

Oyana, however, no longer showed any anger. She comforted him, "Don't be angry, Enara. At least he's not going to try anything funny this time."

"I apologize, I was wrong last time, so I've decided to discuss all the proposals with you gradually."

Upon hearing this, Oyana said in a voice that was both gratified and loving:

"Benny, you finally understand. You're one of the three giants; you should represent the Voice of Balance."

"Then let's begin discussing the proposal immediately."

"Wait a minute." Ben raised his hand.

Enara frowned immediately and asked, "Ben Parker, what are you up to now?"

Ben said, "I would love to discuss this with you all, but in the real world, I have my own things to do."

You want to leave?

Enara raised her voice. "You want to leave?"

"No, I want another consciousness to come in." Ben pointed to his watch.

When Super-Kill didn't come into this world with him, Ben already realized that it was Alien X who rejected Super-Kill.

Enara and Oyana exchanged a glance.

Then the two of them said simultaneously, "Let the Symbiote Super-Kill enter the consciousness space..."

Then, the two voices diverged.

Oyana: "Agreed."

Enara: "Rejected."

"Not approved."

After the verdict was announced, Oyana looked at Enara in surprise.

"Enara, why did you veto it?" she said sadly. "I thought you would agree."

"Because he's not one of the Big Three," Enara said matter-of-factly.

"Of course he is," Oyana and Enara argued. "He shares a consciousness with Benny, doesn't he, Benny?"

Ben nodded and said, "Oyana is right. Super-Kill belongs to the Parasitic Sequence. He is Symbiote, but he is also me."

"That's the problem," Enara said impatiently.

"He is not entirely you."

"His thinking is influenced by the Symbiote organisms, which disqualifies him from participating in our decisions, let alone representing the balance."

Enara loudly proclaimed the verdict:

"Ben, you stay."

"Super-Kill is yours, handle everything."

After hearing her words, Oyana seemed to agree. She nodded with her pale face and then looked at Ben pleadingly.

"Benny, you can stay."

Upon hearing this, Ben scratched his head and said, "I think you've misunderstood something."

"I didn't intend for Super-Kill to stay here in my place," he explained. "I intended for Super-Kill to come in, split off a part of me, and then leave behind a consciousness that belongs only to me here."

Upon hearing this, Enara and Oyana exchanged another glance.

Then they said simultaneously, "Let the Symbiote Super-Kill enter the consciousness space, agreed."

The resolution has been passed.

Meanwhile, outside the realm of consciousness.

Super-Kill was trying to figure out how to handle the current situation.

"If Uncle Ben and Aunt May found out I've turned into a sticky slug, that wouldn't be good... hmm?"

The next moment, the Timed-out Superman suddenly started moving.

He stretched out his palm and drew a circle in the air.

In an instant, a tremendous suction force pulled Super-Kill up and brought him into the consciousness space.

Super-Kill felt like he had fallen into a toilet that had been flushed. After a moment of dizziness, he found himself in Alien X's consciousness space.

Before he could even figure out what had happened...

Ben said, "Then let's begin, Super-Kill."

Upon hearing this, Super-Kill didn't hesitate and immediately possessed Ben's body.

Immediately afterwards, two Ben appeared before Enara and Oyana.

Oyana said in a long, happy tone:

"Two Benny classes, so that makes four giants."

"Still the Big Three, we share the same consciousness." The two Ben pointed to their heads together.

Then he said, "That's it, the one with the watch goes back, the other stays."

"What a pity..."

Oyana said.

This time, however, no one objected.

Ben, who didn't have a watch, stepped forward and said, "Then I'll stay and discuss the proposal with you. But in exchange, if we have urgent business, we can discuss ours first, how about that?"

Enara: "Agreed."

Oyana: "Of course I agree."

The two Ben a glance and laughed simultaneously, "Then, the bill passes."

"Then I'll be going now."

Ben, wearing a watch, waved, pressed a button, and then disappeared.

The No-Watch Ben and Super-Kill coexisted in the consciousness space.

Super-Kill has no right to participate in the proposal, but he needs to possess the hand of the No-Watch Ben to ensure that his clone ability is activated.

"Let's begin. What's the first motion? Should we resurrect the dinosaurs?"

Enara shook her head. "Dinosaurs never went extinct, so why bother resurrecting them?"

"Let's start from somewhere much further back," Oyana said gently. "Our accumulated proposals Xing Yi in the universe."

"The first proposal is whether or not to resurrect the god who was killed in the Knowhere. He was so pitiful..." Oyana said sadly, "I feel so sorry for him."

"Rejected!" Enara said. "Trash is still trash even if it's resurrected."

Then both of them turned their gaze to Ben.

"Rejected." Ben sided with Enara.

"Many aliens live in the Knowhere. If the gods are resurrected, those people are doomed."

Oyana thought for a moment, then nodded.

You make a good point.

"The next proposal..."
