Symbiotes in Conflict

The Life Foundation received no further response from the spacecraft.

By now, the entire scientific expedition aboard the spacecraft had died. If anyone could have survived an accident like this, that would have been a miracle beyond miracles.

The massive spacecraft blazed as it fell, while the control center at the Life Foundation headquarters on Earth was unable to contact the Life One spacecraft.

A ball of fire pierced Earth's atmosphere and rapidly crashed into the Borneo Forest Reserve, twenty kilometers west of Sibu in eastern Malaysia.

Wreckage from the spacecraft was scattered everywhere as a large search-and-rescue team conducted a tense search beneath powerful floodlights.

The rescuers removed three enormous containers from the wreckage. Each appeared to hold a strange, constantly writhing organism.

"Put my stuff down, three grams of oil!"

Just as they rejoiced and prepared to leave with the samples they had obtained through tremendous hardship, an arrogant voice rang out.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

In an instant, dozens of mercenaries decisively drew their submachine guns and aimed them at the newcomer. Where had this little idiot come from, acting so cocky?

At the Life Foundation headquarters back in the United States, footage of the rescue site was playing live on a giant screen. Drake and Dr. Skers were listening to a progress report.

When he saw someone provoking them in the pitch-black night, Drake's face immediately darkened. This mission had already suffered devastating losses, and now some country bumpkin dared to loot a burning house?

"Kill him!"

Drake gave the order coldly and decisively. Chen Xi had walked right into his line of fire, and Drake had been looking for somewhere to vent his rage.

The one acting so domineering was naturally Chen Xi. He had just gone after the escaped Symbiote, which was why he had arrived late.

The little thing really was crafty. It had immediately possessed a stupid wild chicken in the forest. If Chen Xi's eyes had not come with night vision, it truly would have escaped.

Rat-a-tat! Rat-a-tat!!

Upon hearing their boss's order, dozens of mercenaries immediately pulled their triggers with cruel grins. Keep showing off! The price of showing off was more than he could bear!

But the next second, they were dumbfounded!

"Fuck!! A monster???"

"Oh my God! A bulletproof monster!"

"Mutant? Mutated human? Monster?"

Drake stood frozen as well. The bullets striking Chen Xi's body were actually ricocheting off?

"Damn it! Since when did Mutants start meddling in this? Could they have learned our secret?"

Drake cursed darkly, his face grim. After all those years of careful planning, was it all going to amount to nothing in the end?

Chen Xi's appearance threw the entire plan into chaos. When Drake looked up again, those mercenaries had already been punched into chunks one by one by Chen Xi's near-teleportation speed amid terrified screams. The others fled in panic, and the signal cut off with them.

"Fuck!!"

Shocked and enraged, Drake grabbed a glass and smashed the now-black giant screen. Now he had nothing left!

Symbiotes!

That strange and bizarre race was the most suitable material for his Superman suit. It would be their honor to follow him!

The remaining Symbiotes had already gone completely insane as they watched Chen Xi walk toward them step by step!

"God! Knull above, what race could this guy possibly be descended from? A Celestial? A Celestial hatchling?"

"God of the Symbiotes, if I, Riot, could parasitize the body of a Celestial hatchling like this, I would definitely kill you."

"Aren't you curious? How could a lifeform like him possibly appear on Earth?"

"Who cares! As long as we can parasitize him! Such a blazing life, like a young star... it's utterly intoxicating!"

"Get lost! You, Venom, are the disgrace of our Symbiote race. You think you deserve to have such thoughts?"

"Ungrateful son!! I never should have spawned you!"

"Get lost! You worthless thing! You think you deserve it?"

"..."

If these Symbiotes had not been confined separately, they would have already begun slaughtering one another. As Chen Xi approached, he seemed like a god of life walking toward them. His nearly stagnant vitality drove them completely mad...

The Symbiote race shared memories, yet in all their countless years, they had never heard of such a terrifying race existing in the universe!

Chen Xi walked up to them with a broad smile and said to himself, "Although you can't speak, I can guess what you're thinking. You can understand what I'm saying too. But I only need the strong to be worthy of cooperating with me, so show me your strength now. Let the performance begin!"

After speaking, Chen Xi punched the specially made glass containers several times, allowing them to have a fair fight. Symbiotes were extremely weak without hosts; only through parasitism could they display their strength.

He could have simply picked any Symbiote to use as his battle suit, but the moment he saw the four Symbiotes, he immediately thought of raising venomous insects together!

As long as one of them devoured the other three, both its power and abilities would receive a terrifying enhancement!

An open scheme!

The Symbiotes knew Chen Xi wanted them to kill one another, but they could not care less. Their race had always devoured and slaughtered one another anyway.

Venom's heart went cold. He, Venom, was the pathetic weakling known as the shame of the Symbiotes!

Which one of Riot, Phage, and Scream was not stronger than him? Wasn't he just waiting to be devoured?

But there was no choice now. It was kill or be killed, and the situation gave him no room to lower his guard. He could only fight desperately.

Even Venom went mad, swinging his tendrils as he launched a vicious attack on his own son. His target was Riot.

As if they had read each other's minds, the other two Symbiotes also extended their tendrils toward Riot, swarming together to take him down!

Riot was the strongest Symbiote. Only by joining forces to eliminate the strongest Riot first could they survive until the end. Otherwise, Riot would only defeat them one by one.

"You!! You!!"

Riot was truly enraged, but he was also afraid. He had thought victory was already in his grasp, yet these three sneaky bastards had actually coordinated so perfectly...

"Sorry, but you're too strong. We had no choice but to take you out first before competing with each other."

Phage mocked smugly, then immediately focused on dealing with Riot.

Although Riot was much stronger than the other Symbiotes, he was still facing three opponents alone. No matter what, he was no match for them.

"Ah!! You damned scum, why can't you fulfill me, the strongest one? Only I can lead the Symbiote race to glory!"

Unwilling to accept it, Riot let out one final roar while being hunted down and cornered by the three Symbiotes, and could only die with resentment.

Venom and the others had actually eliminated the strongest Riot?

Even Chen Xi found it somewhat unbelievable. The stronger someone was, the more dangerous they became. No one wanted a mountain pressing down on their heads!

After eliminating the strongest Riot, the situation instantly reversed. Phage and Scream seemed to have set their sights on Venom, and the two Symbiotes launched a coordinated attack on the weakest Venom.

They would not allow themselves to die at the hands of Venom, the shame of the Symbiotes. Otherwise, wouldn't they be nailed to the pillar of shame for countless ages?

Chen Xi suddenly thought of a saying: The saddest thing in this world is for the strong to be killed by the weak...
