Symbiote
"Hopefully..." Hearing Kara's words, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Peter Parker's heart. After all, Robet's abilities were still trustworthy to Peter Parker and the others. Since Jarvis had been unable to obtain any useful data, perhaps they could only place their hopes on Robet.
Besides Robet, Peter Parker didn't know anyone else who could help him. If even Robet couldn't help him, then Peter Parker didn't think anyone else could. At that point, Peter Parker would probably have no choice but to accept his fate...
However, Peter Parker felt a little relieved at this moment. After all, he had only returned to the time when he had no cultivation energy, and was even stronger than before. He had not completely turned back into an ordinary person.
With a "whoosh," just as Peter Parker was still feeling unsettled by his ups and downs, Robet appeared in the Avengers. He didn't take long to get there because Kara said Peter Parker's situation seemed quite serious.
"Hmm?" When Robet appeared, he immediately noticed Peter Parker, because Robet could clearly sense that Peter Parker's aura was much stronger than when he left that day. This was completely unlike what Kara had said, that he had not only lost his lightning power but also had no aura at all.
However, Robet could also sense that Peter Parker's vitality was much stronger than before. Peter Parker's strength was indeed quite good before, but in terms of vitality, he was not much stronger than Super Soldier; he had just entered the extraordinary level and hadn't reached that level yet.
But things are different now. Peter Parker's vitality is exceptionally strong, so strong that he doesn't seem like a humanoid creature. It's as if a savage beast is lurking within Peter Parker, and this beast has completely merged with Peter Parker!
"What happened to you after you left that day?" Robet frowned, looking at Peter Parker, and asked, "Not just the day you left, but every single day after that, you have to tell me what happened to you."
"Nothing happened to me in the days that followed..." A hint of hesitation flashed in Peter Parker's eyes, but he ultimately explained honestly, "It must have been the morning after you left that I became like this. I just hadn't noticed the abnormality in the Thunder Force within me. I haven't been doing what Spider-Man is supposed to do for a while; I was planning to take a rest..."
"As for the day I left, I went to see that guy Wade. During dinner that day, he anticipated that you guys would kick him out, so he gave me his contact information, hoping to get the location of the base from me..."
"However, due to some misunderstandings, we didn't have a very pleasant falling out, and we parted on bad terms. I haven't seen him these past few days, nor have I told him the location of the base..."
"After leaving Wade that day, I felt something was wrong with my body, but I was tired that day, so I went home and slept. The next day, I went to Jarvis for a checkup and found that my body had become stronger. At first, I didn't think much of it until I met Pietro and the others. Kara reminded me and I tested my abilities, and that's when I discovered that I had lost the Thunder Force."
As Peter Parker himself spoke, his brow furrowed, for he realized as he spoke that something was amiss. If this was the Peter Parker left that day, after the Richard Parker and Spider-Man incident, his desire for his own strength had increased many times over!
Therefore, theoretically, after realizing his improvement, he would definitely want to test it out. It's unlikely that he would do what he did: even after knowing his improvement, he would still choose to return to school and attend classes normally, without even intending to test his strength during his free time.
If it weren't for meeting Kara and the others, Peter Parker wouldn't have even entertained such thoughts until now. This is undoubtedly very illogical, and this change makes Peter Parker wonder if he's being controlled again...
But after careful reflection, Peter Parker realized that aside from lacking research abilities, his behavior didn't seem unusual. Who was controlling his body and only doing this kind of thing?
"So, it's been that many days already?" Robet's expression turned serious after hearing Peter Parker's account. Although Peter Parker's abnormality wasn't too obvious yet, even Kara and the others could see that something was wrong with Peter Parker, indicating that Peter Parker had begun to change.
Moreover, such an effect is not so obvious or easy to detect, which means that it is more like a very powerful means of concealment. The longer such an effect remains dormant, the more dangerous it becomes for Peter Parker!
"I have a feeling Peter in danger. What's wrong with Peter lately? He seems to be having a run of bad luck!" Pietro, who was standing next to him, also realized this. He frowned and looked at Peter Parker with some concern, muttering to himself.
If it were just a minor misfortune, Pietro, as a friend, might have even teased Peter Parker. But since it was a life-threatening situation, Pietro certainly wouldn't be gloating. Instead, he would be extremely worried about Peter Parker's safety. After all, as a friend, he definitely didn't want anything to happen to Peter Parker...
"You have no solution either?" Hearing Robet and Pietro's words, Tony Stark, who had taken a moment to speak, frowned and looked at Robet to ask.
"I need to investigate further..." Robet's expression also turned serious. He went to Peter Parker's side, and this time, Robet released all of his sensory abilities.
"Hiss!" Faced with Robet's probing, Peter Parker suddenly gasped, because he sensed a huge threat, and his Spider-Sense was instantly activated.
Moreover, this time the source of the danger from his Spider-Sense was none other than Robet! This made Peter Parker instinctively distance Robet, not wanting Robet to get close to his body...
"Huh?!" When they saw Peter Parker suddenly jump away, all the Avengers were stunned. They looked blankly at Peter Parker, whose expression had changed drastically and who seemed to be on high alert, not understanding why Peter Parker was reacting so strongly.
However, the Avengers quickly realized what was happening. Without even communicating with each other, they formed a circle, subtly keeping Peter Parker and Robet inside.
Of course, this encirclement is primarily aimed at Peter Parker, because to put it bluntly, if the real problem lies with Robet, then even all the Avengers combined wouldn't be able to stop Robet...
"Ahem, no, it was just an instinctive reaction. My Spider-Sense seemed to have malfunctioned just now... Hmm? That's not right!" Peter Parker smiled awkwardly after seeing the Avengers ' actions around him and was about to explain when he stopped mid-sentence, realizing something was amiss.
Peter Parker's Spider-Sense has had its moments of malfunction. When Peter Parker was first bitten by Spider and gained his Spider powers, he encountered Robet and Kara. Upon seeing them, Peter Parker jumped three feet high and dared not approach Robet and Kara at all.
It wasn't until Peter Parker gradually gained control of his abilities that Peter Parker was able to maintain a normal state in front of Robet and Kara. This became a habit for Peter Parker; in fact, it could be said that Robet and Kara were already on Peter Parker's Spider-Sense whitelist...
After all, if Robet and Kara wanted to attack Peter Parker, even if he hadn't put them on Spider-Sense's whitelist, he probably wouldn't have been able to react in time. That's why Peter Parker simply gave up back then.
It's quite obvious from Peter Parker's action of jumping away from Robet that Peter Parker Spider-Sense is no longer under Peter Parker control!
"Am I really being controlled again?" Peter Parker's face instantly darkened, and he said with a hint of frustration and self-deprecation, "Before, I was thinking about how to get rid of this control, but then I thought that being controlled like this probably wouldn't happen often, and it wasn't a big deal. But I didn't expect to be controlled again so quickly..."
"This time you should be different from the last one. At least you are still conscious and able to control your body, which means that the one controlling you this time is not as powerful as the last one..." Robet looked at Peter Parker and slowly shook his head, gently comforting him.
"This guy is just well hidden. Don't worry, I'll find him soon! Come on, relax. Last time you were controlled by that Spider creature because your power came from him, so you couldn't resist. But this time is different. You're the famous Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man of New York. Don't you have even the slightest will to resist?"
"Yes! I absolutely cannot be so easily controlled!" Hearing Robet's words, Peter Parker's confidence was rekindled. He, Peter Parker, was a superhero loved and admired by many; how could he be so pathetic?!
Seeing Peter Parker's fighting spirit rekindled, Robet nodded in satisfaction and came to Peter Parker's side once again. This time, Peter Parker could still feel his Spider-Sense flaring up instantly, but this time, with his strong willpower, Peter Parker forcibly controlled the anomaly of his Spider-Sense and did not try to avoid the probing.
"Hmm?!" As Peter Parker's willpower gradually strengthened, the abnormality in Peter Parker's body became more and more obvious. Robet could gradually sense that a more powerful life force was Tso Su from Peter Parker's body. And without a doubt, the owner of this life force was the Dark Hand behind Peter Parker who was hiding in his body and controlling Peter Parker!
As this life force appeared, Robet instantly locked onto it, and then an invisible spiritual and soul force surged forth, seizing that life force on the spot!
Robet wasn't sure what kind of creature or what form of life form this life force came from, but Robet felt that as long as a living being existed and possessed consciousness, it would be difficult for it to escape the combined power of his spirit and soul...
With a "buzz!" sound, and just as Robet had predicted, after Robet's power locked onto that ball of life force, Peter Parker's body began to tremble continuously, and then drops of dark, oil-like substance seeped out from Peter Parker's pores.
This dark substance was somewhere between a solid and a liquid, existing in a bizarre state, even more so than the shadows that the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers had previously devoured.
However, Robet had indeed seen similar bizarre life forms before. Although their strength and aura differed greatly, this black life form did bear some resemblance to Majin Buu's life form. Of course, their appearance and strength were completely on different levels...
With a "whoosh!", just after the black life form completely detached from Peter Parker's body, it actually tried to pounce towards Robet. Unfortunately, at this moment, the life form was unable to break free from the dual power of Robet's spirit and soul, and it quickly crashed into an invisible barrier.
This also confirmed Robet's suspicion that the life form was primarily a material being, and that its ability to hide within Peter Parker's body was mainly due to its ability to penetrate any part of the body and its capacity to move itself.
Even Jarvis's tests couldn't detect every single cell in Peter Parker's body, inside and out, which gave this life form the opportunity to hide.
"Crack!" The black life form crashed into the invisible barrier, but unlike the Demon and shadow legion generals before it, it was not stunned on the spot. This was because it was a shape-shifting life form, and it was highly adaptable to such deformation and impact.
"No! Don't kill me, I meant no harm!" However, even though he wasn't actually hurt, Robet still firmly controlled the black life form. It seemed to sense the danger and quickly begged for mercy.
"I didn't harm Peter Parker. I'm just living as a symbiote within him. I won't completely take over his body. Hiding inside him is a characteristic of our Symbiote!"
